The sake bomb or sake bomber is a drink made by pouring sake into a shot glass and dropping it into a glass of beer. Sometimes two chopsticks are placed parallel on top of the glass of beer, and the shot glass is balanced carefully between them. The table is then slammed with two balled fists, and the sake drops into the beer.[1] It is to be drunk immediately, and works best with warm sake.
